Inspired By…

June 9, 2010

How about a little interior inspiration today? I sometimes like to pull some images that get my creative juices flowing and just stare at them — I like to pick out all of the details, wonder what inspired the person to arrange things a certain way, and then I think of how I would edit it if it were my own home, etc. Do you do this too? I found some images mostly from Emma that inspire me and since I don’t intend to steal her thunder please click over to visit her blog. She has curated some gorgeous images over the past few weeks and as I was catching up on all of my blog reading this morning I collected some that stood out the most. A few I found myself by clicking around on some of her links…

I’ve been loving gold accents lately so I found a vintage gold teapot, creamer and sugar bowl to add to my growing collection of gold and gold-rimmed things. :) My love for gold is precisely why this room caught my eye. I also love the frames. This photo is from Hus & Hem.

Are their any rooms above that catch your eye? Why? What do you like about them?

Interesting choice of knick knacks on the wall. I’m convinced that you can place anything on the wall as long as you use some form of balance techniques, the outcome would be great. .-= KG @ KG Style´s last blog ..FOLLOW US to WIN a FREE CLOSET MAKEOVER! =-.

I think that right now I love picture 2… not only because i’m sleepy, but because of all these beautiful details there. Love the yellow letter A – actually I love all letters that are using for decoration. :) But I like not only picture 2 – these collection here is beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration today :) Have a great day, Holly. .-= Raru´s last blog ..Inspirations by Sam Zwemmer ? ??????????? ?? Sam Zwemmer =-.

I love golden accents! I try to find gold colored stuff that aren’t classic looking or just plane ordinair ;-) I bought a little golden deer statue by All The Luck In the World and she is standing very nice on my tv-desk. I LOVE it big time. So yes, i’m in love with that last image in this post :) absolutly my style.

I love all of them, but the yummy bedroom by Susanna Vento caught my eyes. I really love the way frames are arranged, it’s perfect for places with not very high ceiling, like our condo apartment :) But I guess there is a thick headboard/shelf for this bed…I can see a yellow bowl there. .-= Afi´s last blog ..Nesting shells =-.

My favourite picture is No. 3: The combination of inverse black and white patterns. The black sofa with a white animal pattern and the white bed with black ornaments; the black fireplace and its beautiful black&white tiles.

Ooooh! definitely the Hus & Hem pic…the wood stove, the floor, the fur on the floor and that black and white chair! wow! my heart definitely beat faster when I looked at that room!! I would love to sit there by the fire and read a good book or look at a great design mag with a cup of tea!!

Indian Yarn – Holly – isn’t it also that Scandinavian countries have less light during winter that makes them want to have it all white so the little light that they get is optimized by the max? Also visiting Iceland i thought the lighting their was unique. The sun looked like it was overworking during the summer period i was there. Not that it was that warm as in southern countries but it looked so remarkably light. Lighter than light! Painting your house in the whitest whites makes sense to me if the sun shines her brightes bright in your country.

i just love how people have different takes on mixing vintage with new. i too love gold accents, especially with pale green. i now own my grandparents’ wedding china which is off-white with a simple gold trim (leaves) and it’s just perfect.

speaking of gold accents, have you been to the marmottan-monet museum in paris? one of my favorites museums. i think the story goes is the house once belonged to an avid monet collector which was eventually turned into a museum (with larget monet collection, i think).

anyway, actually, one of my favorite things about this museum is what i think was the dining room. the walls are 2 shade of pale green and there are gold accents (frames, lighting) everywhere, tons of natural light; i fell in love the moment i walked in. they don’t let you take photos there otherwise i would have taken a ton! if you are ever in paris, i recommend it! .-= the fabled needle (jen)´s last blog ..Louise, A Narwhal (Help Clean Up the Oil Spill) =-.

It’s the last room that catches my eye. Because of the warm colour shades, the gold and the wood and also the frames and pictures on the wall. I don’t like it if it is to organized because to me it looks/feels kind of boring. Even though in this room everything is arranged to me it does not look boring but simply great!

ohhhh, this pics really make me want to jump up and redo my house from top to bottom. I have got to find out where I can get my hands on the blue & white fabric on the chair in front of the fireplace in the Hus & Hem shot. Love it!!! Oh where can it be???
